Homewood Suites By Hilton Newark/Wilmington South

Dear Family and Friends,
I am making my first entry into a travel blog that Christi and Dan set up last night. We are leaving today for Los Angeles California and tomorrow will attend the Agape Sunday service. I am looking forward to ...

Today, we set up a show at George Crothers School in Swarthmore, PA. We received a note ahead of time that said there would be buses in the way of our entry, so we didn't need to bother with getting there too early. Unfortunately, we only read that note on our way to the school. So, sure enough, we got there when there was a whole line of buses lining the sidewalk. Interestingly, there were dozens of handicap vans parked along the curb, too. I can understand a ...

... noodle soup. Awesome.

We then toured Crystal Cave. So-called, because small crystals actually grow on the walls, and they sparkle under the right light. It was a nice cave, pretty expansive. Fifty-four degrees year-round, some nice formations. Again, we took pictures.

And that's about it! We came back, made some dinner in our room, watched The Mummy III, and called our families.

So, before I call it a night, I'll post those pictures :)

I'm sat in a motel in Newark and for no other reasons than being a bit bored and it raining outside, I'm writing this. This is a very special motel, it offers a free hot breakfast in the morning. Now, the special part is the 'hot' part. Yes, yes, you'll find some establishments willing to put on a bit of a continental breakfast style spread, but not many venture into the realm of the oven. On top of this, the motel boasts 102 'sparkling clean' guest rooms. The room is clean but I ...

... last week in August. I will be staying a 10 days past my month of study at the Sorbonne in Paris to travel and see other parts of France outside of Paris. I will be staying in a hostel in Nice for the majority of that time and depending on how adventurous (or tired) I feel I may or may not be taking some day trips around. Anyways, thats all for now! I hope this finds everyone healthy and happy!

Well,it has been a little over a year, but this is it! I will be around for just a few more days and then will head out sometime over the weekend. It is always difficult to leave those who one is close to. In addition to my family, I am leaving: the best friends that anyone can have; an amazing group of kids who I have coached and mentored for three years; a wonderful church family who I have just started ...

... States, Puerto Rico and Japan. "We are very disappointed with the government's decision to deny the participation of a team from Cuba in the World Baseball Classic," Archey and Orza said. "We will continue to work within appropriate channels in an attempt to address the government's concerns and will not announce a replacement unless and until that effort fails." Organizers had said the Cuban team likely would have included only players currently residing in ...

CIA Report: Castro Has Parkinson's Disease Nov 16, 2005 5:15 pm US/Eastern The reports about Fidel Castro's health have swirled around for years, growing more frequent as the 79-year-old Cuban leader grows older and interest in his inevitable succession sharpens. Sometimes he is said to have cancer. Other times, he is said to have suffered a series of small strokes. Now, an investigation by our news partner -- the Miami Herald -- has found the CIA has told policymakers about Fidel ...

... arrangement of the grounds, the item that stood out was the Amish themselves. Here was where I first saw the long beards and black hats on the men and the gingham dresses on the women. Strangely enough, I didn’t think the attire looked anachronistic. I suppose it’s the result of being inundated with the Amish’s popular image, but their appearance actually seemed somewhat comforting. It just felt right to find something which was a representation ...
